Troubleshooting
Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and
malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with
this component, check the points below. Take a look at the
other components and electrical appliances being used,
because sometimes the problem may lie there. If the trouble
isn’t sorted out even after going through the checks below,
ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent service
company to carry out repair work.
• If the unit does not operate normally due to external
effects such as static electricity disconnect the power
plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal
operating conditions.
General
The power does not turn on.
Disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and insert again.
Make sure there are no loose strands of speaker wire touching
the rear panel. This could cause the receiver to shut off
automatically.
The receiver suddenly switches off.
When the Auto Power Down function is working, the power
will automatically turn off if the receiver has not operated for
several hours. Check the setting for the Auto Power Down
function (see The Auto Power Down menu on page 29).
After about a minute (you won’t be able to switch the unit on
during this time), switch the receiver back on. If the message
persists, call a Pioneer authorized independent service
company.
If there is very little low frequency information in the source
material, change your speaker settings to Front: SMALL/
Subwoofer: YES, or Front: LARGE / Subwoofer: PLUS
(page 27).
The receiver suddenly switches off or the HDMI indicator
blinks.
Check that there are no loose strands of speaker wire
touching the rear panel or another set of wires. If so, re-attach
the speaker wires, making sure there are no stray strands.
The receiver may have a serious problem. Disconnect from the
power and call a Pioneer authorized independent service
company.
Power automatically turns ON/OFF and the input switches
from one to another. (When the ARC function is ON)
The CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) function may activate
when the ARC function is turned ON, causing power to turn
ON and OFF and the input to switch from one to another.
Since this unit does not guarantee synchronized operation
based on the CEC function, turn OFF the HDMI CONTROL
setting on the connected player. Refer to the relevant device’s
instruction manual for details.
If this does not work, turn OFF the ARC function. If this is the
case, listen to the TV audio after connecting this unit and the
